Having converted my boat to electric propulsion, I was able to remove my original stainless steel fuel tank in one piece. After draining out the leftover diesel, the tank seems to be in pretty good shape (freshwater boat). Two years ago when I attempted to make my old Westerbeke 13 run better, I polished the old diesel that had been sitting in the tank, and I did swab out the interior a bit then. Not much noticeable muck at the bottom at that time.
Does anybody want my old diesel tank?
